Rating Scale
Based on the information summarized on the previous pages, rate your client's use of alcohol during the worst period over the past 6 months, according to the following scale.
, = Abstinence. Client has not used alcohol over the past 6 months.
2 = Use without impairment. Client has used alcohol over the past 6 months, but there is no evidence of persistent or recurrent problems in social functioning, legal status, role functioning, psychiatric status, or physical problems related to use, and no evidence of recurrent dangerous use.
3 = Abuse. Client has used alcohol over the past 6 months, and there is evidence of persistent or recurrent problems in social functioning, legal status, role functioning, psychiatric status, or physical problems related to use, or evidence of recurrent dangerous use. For example, recurrent alcohol use leads to disruptive behavior and housing problems. Problems have persisted for at least 1 month.
4 = Dependence. Client meets criteria for abuse, plus at least three of the following: greater amounts of use than intended; much of time spent obtaining or using alcohol; frequent intoxication or withdrawal interferes with other activities; important activities given up because of alcohol use; continued use despite knowledge of alcohol-related problems; marked tolerance; characteristic withdrawal symptoms; or alcohol taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms. For example, drinking binges and preoccupation with drinking have caused client to drop out of job training and non-drinking-related social activities.
5 = Dependence with institutionalization. Client meets criteria for dependence, plus related problems are so severe that they make noninstitutional living difficult. For example, constant drinking leads to disruptive behavior resulting in incarceration.

Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Substance Abuse Treatment Scale 1. Pre-engagement - The person does not have contact with case manager and meets criteria for substance abuse or dependence. 2. Engagement - The person has only irregular contact with assigned case manager, and meets criteria for substance abuse or dependence. _______________________________________________________________________________
3. Early Persuasion - The client has regular contact with case manager, continues to use the same amount of substances or has reduced substance use for less than 2 weeks, and meets criteria for substance abuse or dependence. 4. Persuasion - The client has regular contact with case manager, shows some evidence of reduction in use for the past 2-4 weeks (fewer substances, smaller quantities, or both), but still meets criteria for substance abuse or dependence. _______________________________________________________________________________
5. Early Active Treatment - The client is engaged in treatment and has reduced substance use for more than the past month, but still meets criteria for substance abuse or dependence. 6. Late Active Treatment - The client is engaged in treatment and has not met criteria for substance abuse or dependence for the past 1-5 months. _______________________________________________________________________________ 7. Relapse Prevention - The client is engaged in treatment and has not met criteria for substance abuse or dependence for the past 6-12 months. 8. Remission or Recovery - The client has not met criteria for substance abuse or dependence for more than the past year.
IDDT Stage of Treatment Walk-Through
1. Has the person been assigned a case manager with whom they’ve met at least once?
If NO, this person is in the Pre-Engagement stage. If YES, move on to next step.
2. Is the person meeting regularly with the case manager?
Note: Some people are willing to meet or have a good relationship with the case manager but have difficulty meeting regularly for practical reasons or due to being disorganized (especially if they are highly symptomatic or having trouble with basic needs like housing and food). For these people, meetings may be “irregular” but not rare, and they are not avoiding the case manager. These people should not be considered “Engagement.” One possible example of a person who is in engagement is someone who only contacts the agency when they need practical assistance (e.g., food, rental assistance, a ride) but does not want to meet any other time.
If NO, this person is in the Engagement stage. If YES, move on to next step.
3. Has the person cut down or eliminated the substance of abuse for more than two weeks? *Note: At this point, begin assessing one substance at a time. If the person is diagnosed with polysubstance dependence, assess for overall abuse (as this diagnosis indicates that a single substance can’t be singled out.) If NO, this person is in the Early Persuasion stage. If YES, move on to next step.
4. Has the person cut down or eliminated the substance of abuse for more than one month?
If NO, this person is in the Persuasion stage. If YES, move on to next step.
IDDT Stage of Treatment Walk-Through (cont’d)
5. Does the person still meet criteria for substance abuse/dependence (while still reducing/discontinuing substance use for between 1-5 months)?
If YES, this person is in the Early Active Stage. If NO, move to the next step.
6. Has the person reduced/discontinued their substance use for less than 5 months?
If YES, this person is in the Late Active Stage. If NO, move to the next step.
7. Has the person reduced/discontinued their substance use for less than 12 months (while still not
meeting criteria for substance abuse/dependence)?
If YES, this person is in the Relapse Prevention stage. If NO, move to the next step.
8. Has the person reduced/discontinued their substance use for more than a year?
If YES, this person is in the Remission/Recovery stage.
